Glad you got it sorted without too many tears!
IIRC the O ring you need is metric.

i will pick up a package of (25) 19 mm x 1.5 mm Viton O-rings from McMaster Carr (PN 9263K852).
I'll have 23 extra if anyone needs them.

Fyi, should be the size you're looking for.

I couldn't think of any other way to catch a high pressure oil leak. I was just concerned that I might lose the camera. It did hit the oil filter but stayed put on smooth back-road highway. I confirmed today driving it about 100 miles that the problem is solved. There is no more oil leaking on the cat or pooling on the diff. I do have a rear main leak. Bumping up that oil pressure with the main and rod bearing replacement sure put everything to the test.

Thanks for the o-ring info! I will get some to have on standby.
